I think I've made up my mind. I was looking for black rims with polished lip for a while now and I think I'ma go with the Racing Hart GT5 black. Previously I had Exel TZ-10 with 215/35/18. With Jersey and NY roads like they are, I definitely need to upsize. The wheel and tire packages for the RH GT5 are:

225/40HR18235/40HR18 245/40HR18 215/35ZR18

Which should I get? What would fit? My car is lowered with Tanabe Springs 2" drop all around. The size of each wheel is 18x7.5.

I called victoriatire and they said the lip is not polished, it's machined? What does that mean? Will there still be a noticeable difference between the lip and the tire? I have black car so I don't want the wheels to blend into the tires. I want some sort of contrast. Will the machined lip provide a noticeable contrast?

HR and ZR are the speed ratings. A ZR rated tire indicates the speed category at which the tire can carry a load - in this case in excess of 168 mph. HR rated tires have a maximum speed rating of 130 mph.
